I started a thread on discussions of integrating bitcoins into an MMORPG environment on this thread:

I know that doesn't quite answer your question, but the issue of integrating bitcoins with specific games is something useful.  Perhaps the independent API interface (with a DLL or library file of some sort) could be developed to also facilitate the development of such clients.

As for specific games, the main interaction would be through some kind of virtual money to bitcoin exchange.  I would discourage such an exchange for games that don't want "real world money" involved (Runescape, World of Warcraft, etc.) but there are many games that don't mind having "real world money" attached to their virtual currency (Second Life, to give another example).

If you want to set up an exchange between this particular game, Progress Quest, and bitcoins..... have fun!  I hope you succeed and get something accomplished.  If you are looking for some technical responses to how that can be accomplished, what sort of problems are you facing in terms of making that implementation?

Programming is not nearly as difficult as it would seem on the surface, and I've taught my nine year old how to make some pretty interesting (although simple) games in under a day's worth of instruction.  I'll admit that manipulating Bitcoins directly could be a little bit more challenging.

Avoid Microsoft tools unless you are getting explicitly paid by somebody to use them in a professional setting.  I could go into more and there are several that would dispute me, but it seems like Microsoft makes software development tools about 3x harder than they should be and 10x harder to learn in the first place.  A good thing for job security, but lousy for a newly budding programmer.

Still, even a simple web page could begin to engage in some coin exchanges.... even a wiki could work for that if you have trouble writing HTML.  Don't give up, and even somebody new to computers could make some real contributions to Bitcoins and their use elsewhere.

I rule at PQ!!

Seriously, it's a joke game.

Better yet, why not make Idle-RPG the bootstrapper! haha

You should not dismiss it as a joke game just because you find it easy.
Some of us have to work hard at it, learning all the spells and attacks and things.

Maybe I should find an easier game to play.
